I love bugs and food and all living things (except wasps because they are evil). If you notice that I've misidentified a plant or animal, please let me know the proper ID.

My photography has been featured on:

• Encyclopedia of Life

• Live Science

• Soapberry Bugs of the World (there may be a conflict of interest there...)

• Lots of food blogs

My work has also appeared in:

• Environmental Applications (cover of 2011 special issue)

• Wilderness Medicine, 6th edition

• Entomologische Zeitschrift

Gear:

• Nikon D600 (still getting acquainted)

• Nikon 50mm f/1.4G (super fast, super sharp)

• Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G IF-ED (we only get along when a tripod is involved)

• Tamron 90mm f/2.8 (ugh... a Tamron -_- )

• Nikon SB-700 AF Speedlight (sooo sexy)

Old Gear:

• Nikon D90 (my old friend)

• Nikon Micro 85mm f/3.5G ED VR (great lens; was bawling when I sold this, but had to b/c switching to full frame)

• Raynox macro converter (crazy vignetting on the full-frame)

• Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 (another good lens; but never got attached b/c wide angle is kind of boring)

♥ Please give me credit (i.e. link back to my photostream) if you re-post any of my photos on your blog (e.g. Tumblr) or in a collage. And, as bizarre as this may sound (it's happened): please do not post any of my photos on "thinspiration" blogs or alongside porn. Thanks for your understanding! ♥
